Pretty Petals Scrapbook Pages

I am having so much fun playing with the new Pretty Petals Designer
Series Paper Stack right now - it just reminds me so much of summer and
all of the beautiful flowers that bloom this time of year!

We start our first page with a Very Vanilla base, then added a couple of rectangular pieces of Olive Olive card stock.

Next, we punched various circles (1 3/4", 2" and 2 1/2") from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack and from Pacific Point, Mint Macaron and Old Olive card stock.

We also punched a Pacific Point Petite Petals Punch, then added one of the new Classy Designer Buttons (you have to see all of the texture and design on these buttons!) and tied it with some Linen Thread.

We even embossed some of the circles with our new Fluttering Embossing Folder. This embossing folder features butterflies in various sizes - it is so cute!

We start our next page with a Pacific Point base, then added a couple of rectangular pieces (to mirror the effect of the first page) of Mint Macaron card stock.

We punched more circles using the various size punches mentioned above. Look at all of the beautiful designs on the Pretty Petals DSP Stack - I love them all!!

We also die-cut that gorgeous butterfly using our Bold Butterfly Framelits. I found it was helpful to put a piece of wax paper in between the card stock and framelit when I ran it through the Big Shot - it made getting the butterfly out of the die, along with piercing those small cutouts, a cinch! We also added a couple of small Rhinestones to the center of the butterfly.

Finally, we stamped "The Little moments with you matter a lot to me!" (from the Watercolor Wings stamp set) and die-cut it out with a Circle Framelit. What a perfect sentiment to add to a scrapbook page!
